The Faux-Bearded Female Pharaoh of Egypt Queen Hatshepsut

It's another time-traveling episode and the ladies are not just walking like an Egyptian but talking about them too! After an exciting update about Kelly reaching her dream of running the New York Marathon (be sure to support her fundraiser with World Animal Protection here: https://fundraisers.nyrr.org/kelly-lansing ), Red gives a life update about her move to Stratford to work with the Stratford Theater festival's wig and makeup department (for all the shows on this season, check out this link here: https://www.stratfordfestival.ca/WhatsOn/ThePlays ). Surprisingly this somehow managed to send our hosts down to the first examples of wigs and beards in history where they uncovered one of the first female pharaohs of ancient Egypt, the fake-bearded and most successful pharaoh you may never have heard of Hatshepsut! And after a hair-raising game of "I Moustache You This or That?", the girls decide what moustache style reigns supreme! Let's get to the root of the stache and see why this week the ladies are saying, "I Love This For You!" Follow us @ilovethatforyoupod and email us at [e-mail] and follow us on our Facebook page!
